Here's the deal.
Before i bought this bike the previous owner had the exhaust modified. take a look, I liked the exhaust, but this week end i realized something that bothered me. It goes like this. the other day i left my bike idling for like maybe 5-7 minutes after riding it a good 10 miles. i come back out of my house and the bike has a clear fluid pouring out of it. turns out that it was coolant. soon after that my check engine light comes on. the bike is running hotter than usual so i figured thats what made the light turn on. So i read the manual, it says under the passanger seat there is a tank for fluid and also a tank under the driver seat( they could be one tank, i never saw it) SO,
Passanger tank is to fill.
Driver tank is to check fluid level.
With fluid lines to both.
So they take both tanks out, and drop in this new exhaust
which came with a little metal tank about 3/4 the size of a coke can, which is for coolant.
they took both fluid lines from the old coolant tanks and dropped them into this one little tank. one of the lines is siliconed in not making a very good seal.
so, i pulled out the siliconed tube to check the coolant level.
it was low. so i filled it up drove it check engine light goes off. 15 miles later while driving coolant starts to leak out of the bottom of the bike while riding really slow down a busy street.
check engine light is off but the bike is running hot at stop lights not while driving.
Am i not getting coolant?
The bike just started doing this, this weekend.
and another thing there are two tubes hanging down on the left side under the left fering, one is for collant but i dont know what the other one is for.
I will try to get some more detailed pics.
what do you think.

My T595 runs hot in traffic also. It has a very similar setup on it. BUT i've never actually overheated it either.
